I have been waiting for this type of conversion/upgrade for years. It reminds me of the conversion Steve Gallacci (hope Steve doing well) did many years ago and I was sad that this product was not released. Thank goodness I still have Henri's props in my stash and will use them for the conversion.

I hope that it is not just a 100% up-scaling, because the cockpit needs a bit more detail improvement by comparison with the 1/48 scale injection molding. In case ZM release 1st a P-51A then this was a very bad decision if the Eduard B is released before. My opinion.

well, even this Morrow information is new for me. Wikipedia say to Morrow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrow_Aircraft_Corporation "Morrow was forced to sell its plant to the War Department in February 1942 for $64,000. The following month, the company began removing its equipment to Rialto and the Tri-City Airport. Shortly thereafter, it announced plans to begin hiring women and begin building wooden pilots' seats. In 1943, it became the Morrow Aircraft-Ziebrach Joint Adventure." My topic to the Seat 91-53074: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/92973-query-to-p-51bc-schick-johnson-plywood-seat/ To date, I have not seen any seat pictures from the war period that are 100% identical to drawing 91-53074. Take a look at the seat pictures linked to the P40 page, there you will see a picture of the plywood seat from below with the indication M.A.C = Morrow Aircraft Corporation. It is therefore clear that this seat was manufactured by Morrow. The role of Schick-Johson Aircraft Seating is still unclear to me, maybe someone can help? Jay, inform me if You need the STL file of the plywood seat. BR

I'm glad to hear that. What color/brand did you use for the exhaust?

Hi Jay, Welcome and thank you for the detailed information + note later. Do you know or have the document "Mustang Modeller & Enthusiast". I have it and send PM if you would like to have it. There is also information (sketch) about the propeller in there and on occasion I will compare it for interest. Many years ago the Swiss Aviation Museum exhibited one P-51 prop, I took photos and there I discovered why the spinner cut has a shape of 8 (because the root part is oval and not round). The P-51 SIG is closed for good, unfortunately, I was there too. BR Ralph

Well, it took long time, but I found by luck pictures http://www.p40warhawk.com/P-40sToday/DanCollier/Real_Parts/P-40_Parts_1.htm I'm surprised that this seat was also used for the P-40 and the owner has a treasure...I don't think there are many of them left BR Ralph

Hi Jay, do You know this link: https://hughtechnotes.com/2016/06/04/mustang-p-51-bc-ordinates/ Your prop design is great, can You tell me the referens / doc pages you got the design data for the Hamilton prop. I have an acout at aircorpslibrary and can check by my self. Regards Ralph

Would be nice to have the He 112 also in 1/32 scale, the control stick is not typical for a German warbird

Hi all, The channel is in German, but Youtube also offers English subtitles. I can't say how good the translation is, but it's worth trying. https://www.youtube.com/@bacuffz In the video "Mein Leben als Jagdflieger im JG 77 1943 - 1945 - My life as a fighter pilot in JG 77 1943 - 1945" there is an interesting piece of information, when picking up a brand new Bf 109, the Bf's with Italian DB's engine were preferred over the German DB's. BR Ralph

Information from Henri I got: >> He temporarily stopped production << Current the german folk has other problems like gender, modeling.... regards

I have 3D printer an would support my "Brothers in Models" but located in Europ

the P-51B was canceled as soon ZM anounced their P-51B (information from 2009)

What are Lavi and Su-47 doing

Thx, Lopes Hope P-51C used the Warren McArthur seat.

Hi all, I'm looking for photo(s) showing the plywood Schick-Johnson seat (pls no drawing or sketches). I found only this information (see link) but this indicate in my opinion the SJ-metall seat (by comparing with drawing 91-53074) Link to picture Hope the community can help. I have already made the drawing, but I would like to know if the seat was really fabricated according to the drawing. Additional does somebody has the original SJ metal seat drawing # 95-100. I think this drawing is property of the SJ company and not easy to get (metal seat used only on D model according Tourist-51 or P-51B/C restored after WWII). From left to the right: - 3D Print SJ-Plywood - Improved Resin for TRM from Lone Star Models (Mike West) - TRM seat (designed for hobbit-Pilots) - 3D Print SJ-Metal - TAM SJ-Metal TAM Regards Ralph
